Download: Stock Rooted Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) ROM Update GPA15

Seems like its been forever since my last release, sorry for the delay. Been pretty busy the past few weeks, finished the Spring semester at UCF, moved back home, and got a job. I'm actually quite tired and no words of wisdom are coming to me to share with you all so I will make this short. Basically GPA15 is the shit, check the changelog for details!

GPA15 (60.1MB)
Download | Statistics

GPA16 will be Android 2.3.4 if you were wondering.

Note: If you have no sound when making a call, you need to reboot once. Also note, if you wish to overclock you need to install the "AutoOverclock.zip" from my kernel post.

  4. there is NO better way to end the night!

  5. Pete, the Netflix app works on your GPA14. Would it be possible for you to try it out with GPA15 and let me know if it works still? That's the only thing keeping me from upgrading.

    Thanks again!

  6. "GPA15 is the shit " Does it mean is it good or bad?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Am I doing this right. I'm using setCPU set at 125min and 800 max. Seems to work. Thanks for all the hard work on these great roms.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Thanks for the update.

    ReplyDelete
  16. This seems to be running quicker with the stock 800MHz than GPA14 was with the 1000MHz kernel. thanks for the update!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Ah yes another fine release~ Thanks for the update Pete! And congrats on getting a new job :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Congrats on the new update and new job!
    Time to test this thing out.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hey Pete what is the default kernel this is running? I was using your 1ghz version 0.2 kernel prior to GPA15. Do I need to reflash? Also do I need to reflash autoclock.zip as well?

    ReplyDelete
  20. @esc, yes you will need to reflash the kernel and autooverclock.zip

    ReplyDelete
  21. Awesome Pete~ Thanks for the quick response! I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I going to try this out. Keep em coming pete. Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  23. pete, are you going to be able to do the same with ice cream sandwiuch?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I woke up to GPA15 this morning and it's possibly the best thing I woke up to in years. Since GPA13, the beta testing and the new kernels, it's great to finally see the masterpiece of 2.3.3. I already heard awesome things of 2.3.4 and I know you'll make that the shit too. Already can't wait for GPA16. As always, continue being perfectionately awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I want to flash this ROM, but Peter, can you answer this question for me please? Thanks

    I want to flash this ROM and run a Low Voltage kernel to save a ton of battery life. You think you can give me instructions on how to do this? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Pete,

    Is is possible to save text messages that are in my phone now when flashing new ROM?

    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  27. @Snivy - just flash GPA15 (do Data/Cache/Dalvik wipe 3 times first), then after that flash the LV kernel of your choice and the autooverclock.zip - that's it.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Sam: I use this before I flash a ROM and then just restore the backup:

    https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore

    ReplyDelete
  29. Also, of course Pete puts this out after I spend two days fighting with various GB ROMs and finally throwing the baby out with the bathwater and rolling back to a Froyo ROM because of the frakking memory manager issues.

    Oh well, that's what ROM backups are for.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Downloaded and loooving it. Thank you Pete.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thank you RumDood. I found that Titanium Backup does it also!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Netflix works fine on GPA15 w/ my droid 1 just tested it.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Fantastic and in response to the Netflix question yes it works great with GPA15. I'm also running the 1.0Ghz V0.2 lv kernel.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hey Pete,

    Can you explain the advantages to using your AutoOverclock.zip versus SetCPU? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  35. How do you get netflix on your droid 1? Market said the device is not supported and will not allow download?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Use the link below for directions to get netflix on droid 1
    http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/

    I used the nexus s as the model and then used super manager to edit the build.prop file.

    Netflix runs great on 3g and wifi and looks real good with the droid 1 and gpa15 thanks pete :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thanks Pete - I installed right over GPA14 without a hitch - is the default 800 kernel LV or SV?

    ReplyDelete
  38. can it work with moto milestone

    ReplyDelete
  39. Works Great with 1Ghz Low V and now thanks to the coments here with Netflix you guys are great. Clicking donate link right now ;-)

  40. Keeping me in love with my OG Droid till the Bionic/Targa release. Thanks a lot!
    ...I graduated from UCF 2 years ago..GO KNIGHTS!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Thank you Pete! Ive been checking your website everyday since the release of GPA14 waiting for GPA15 to FINALLY be released! Of course the day I go up to the lake with no internet and barely any reception you release this, but thank you for all your hard work!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I have been a longtime follower of yours. You are the Rom King my friend. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. As always Live It, Love It, Android-Life!

    ReplyDelete
  43. This build is amazing... Thank you so much Pete!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Congrats on getting through another semester. You'll have a thousand letters of recommendation by the time you graduate.

    P.S. try "shizzle" next time, you never know who's following you and it's always best to play it safe. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Guys, I'm on GPA14. Do I need to wipe data and cache for this? Thank you in advance and long live Pete Alfonso!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Pete did it again, my Droid its flying with GPA15 and his 1ghz LV kernel. Thanks for all your work.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Runs better than stock deodexed and way faster. This is the shit!! Peter, your the bomb

    ReplyDelete
  48. will this with with a milestone?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hey Pete? Can I use GPA15 with an old baseband? I really want to try it, but I cannot change my baseband because I am not on Verizon, I am on another network (ntelos) and last time I changed my baseband I lost 3g altogether (had to have phone replaced).

    ReplyDelete
  50. well it figures my work schedule gets changed, i have to wait til tuesday night to flash. downloading now tho, and cant freakin WAIT! Been VERY happy with 13 and 14, both of which were improvements over previous ROMs. Thanks Pete, didnt mind waiting for this at all!

    ReplyDelete
  51. This is awesome... It's better... No lag... FAST BOOT OMFG, when i rebooted my Droid took 5 seconds to start Android.. Really nice...

    Running GPA 15 with 1.0 LV KERNEL.
    Thanks Pete.

    ReplyDelete
  52. The two features I miss from CM7 are their fancy pulldown menu and the ability to lock the widgets.

    I think this is the ROM for the pulldown menu:

    Possible to incorporate it?

  53. sorry about bein a newbie but im still on the totally stock droid, version 2.2.2, build FRG83G. would i need to root my phone or anything in order to use this 2.3.4? or if there is a spot on this forum with instructions, id love to read through that instead of making someone type all the instruction. Any help is much appreciated!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Fastest boot time I have ever seen on any rom. KUDOS to Peter!!!!!

  56. Amazing job Pete. This ROM flies when OC'd. Running GPA15 w/ the 1.2GHz LV kernal (v2) and it's incredibly fast. Wireless & Bluetooth tethering work with my Xoom, Netflix works, and Trillian app appears to be fixed, for whatever reason Trillian refused to connect in GPA14. Thanks so much, keep up the amazing work!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Thanx Pete, this rom is so smooth and works great. I have had one random reboot. But compared to cm7 stable and nightlies everything just works right. Still can't wait for maybe some bugless bread. Thanx for the great roms. Oh Congrats on finishing school.

    ReplyDelete
  58. @michael, yes you need to be rooted and this is only 2.3.3. Head over to xda on how to root or I personally use the superoneclick method google superoneclick. Don't apologize for being a newbie, once upon a time we all rooted for the first time and none of us were able to just wing it without some sort of direction. Good luck, add years onto the life of your phone thanks to people like pete

    ReplyDelete
  59. Alevee: no you do not need to wipe you can jus flash it right over gpa14. Same with the kernels and the overclock zip

    ReplyDelete
  60. Thanks Pete, running GPA15 with 1Ghz_sv, everything seems to be running good. Install netflix and no issues there. Can wait to see what GPA16 bring.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I've installed AutoOverClock.zip as instructed, but I'm having trouble finding any documentation on how to set it up or what it's actually doing. I'm used to using SetCPU, and having the ability to underclock my phone when it's not in use, and set a temp limit to cut the clock speed when the processor starts to overheat. Is this ROM / Kernel compatible with SetCPI? Does AutoOverClock.zip have these features? If so, how do I set them? And if not, do I need to uninstall AutoOverClock.zip somehow in order to go back to SetCPU? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  62. UPDATE - fixed boot loop - had to hard/factory reset. Looks GREAT!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Was App2SD added to this ROM? Or did I pick that up somewheres else? Is it possible to disable the notification every time an app is updated?

    ReplyDelete
  64. Coming from the last bb build. Can someone give me instruction on how to flash this new build and if I should uninstall setcpu.

    ReplyDelete
  65. And what is the best way to reinstall apps?

    ReplyDelete
  66. Netflix works, verified with GPA15.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Netflix I used: http://db.tt/iQn7AiZ

  68. this has google apps doesn't it?

  69. This has google apps doesn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  70. Can this update be flashed over FRG83 (not FRG83G) (after wiping data/cache of course)?

    ReplyDelete
  71. elgatohombre5/16/11, 8:04 PM

    Amazing new ROM! Thanks a lot Peter! Anyone know of a way to get the five buttons from BB 0.6 on the bottom of the GPA15 screen? I really miss having those there already.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Is this overclocked at 800 mhz?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Fantastic, thanks Peter.
    Just a note to anybody that experiences it, if the install hangs to long it might not boot properly. Just hook it back up to usb and run 'adb reboot recovery' then run the installer again.
    Fixed no boot problem right up.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Mines keeps saying download unsuccessful? Any tips?

    ReplyDelete
  75. @Jeremy, Use Titanium Backup from market. Run complete backup before wipe, then restore after wipe.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Hey Pete, great job again! Is there any advantage to using AutoOverClock instead of SetCPU? SetCPU seems to not always be playing nice with the new v2 kernals for my particular phone. Everything is smooth as glass for me with GPA15 using your v1 1.00GHz kernal, but I'd like to get in on the goodness in your newer version. If AutoOverClock is my only hangup, I'm dumping good ol' SetCPU.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Hey Pete, thanks for 2.3.3 - so far so good on my D1. Of course now you're going to be hounded for 2.3.4 -- see: http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/05/17/1538226/Swiped-Tokens-Expose-Android-Devices-To-Data-Theft

    ReplyDelete
  78. Just tested everything with GPA15 and it fixed my LinkedIn and My Verizon issues from GPA14, but broke Amazon MP3 (which I've just decided to live without). A really great release. I'm not sure I even want to upgrade my phone now.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Where is home? Central Florida area?

    ReplyDelete
  80. Netflix says my device isn't compartable D1. I didn't come from GPA14 to GPA15 without wipe. Can someone help.

    ReplyDelete
  81. You the man peter thank you!! Fixed my five guys app... My Amazon MP3 App worked fine until I updated it to the latest version. No big deal I can live without the app

    ReplyDelete
  82. Use this for netflix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13730742&postcount=16

    ReplyDelete
  83. @Davest: I believe AutoOverClock.zip has fancy ways to automatically govern your cpu for you. Try unintalling anything that governs and let it do it for you. i'm using the low voltage 1.0 kernel and my batter easily lasts all day on this old phone.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Netflix working fine for me on GPA15 just like it did for GPA14

    ReplyDelete
  85. How do I get to the files to change the settings?

    ReplyDelete
  86. I have never gotten as good signal or data speed. Weird. Great build as usual. Netflix working. Battery life is good. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  87. This is great. And I tested the netflix install link posted above that ends with =16. Completely functional and amazingly fast. Looking forward to GPA16. Pete rocks!

    ReplyDelete
  88. I got stuck in the dreaded boot loop a few times trying to use ROM manager and clockworkmod recovery, but then I just installed from a manual recovery, and then flashed the .8 Ghz LV kernel. I must to say this is awesome and thank you!!!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Thank you Pete! Again your complete and utter awesomeness has breathed new life into my moto droid! I love your work! 15 with the 1.1 ghz lv kernel absolutely flies!
    You rock~

    ReplyDelete
  90. GPA15 + Pete's 1 Ghz low-voltage kernel. Ran from 6 AM to 9:20 PM with wifi and GPS enabled and I've still got 40% left on the battery. Probably used the phone more today than I usually do and I'm getting better battery life than usual. THANKS PETE!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Being a noob to this... are there any step by step instructions around on how to upgrade my Droid 1 from stock 2.2.2 FRG83G to this build? Thank You

    ReplyDelete
  92. Anyone have a walk-though for those of us who have never rooted their phones before?

    Along with the Kernels.

    -Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Pete like always you deliver something HUGE and most excellently! You are going to do alright in the job market when you get out of school!!! Running GPA15 w/ 1.1GHz LV v0.2 ... thanks so much, glad I can join for the ride

    ReplyDelete
  94. This is amazingly fast. It blows my mind. LOVE IT!!!! Keep up the awesome work.

    ReplyDelete
  95. thanx peter....good job

    ReplyDelete
  96. With Pete's 1.1Ghz kernel, this rom flies and has been extremely stable. Great job Pete.

    ReplyDelete
  97. GPA15 is awesome. It just works (and appears to have fixed a licensing problem I had with activating my Bria (SIP client) license on GPA13. Thanks again Peter (sent a $25 donation when I installed GPA13).

    ReplyDelete
  98. Sorry but im afraid i dont get how to install this ROM, i have previusly instaled nandroid on my system but dont know how to proceed with peter rom, does somebody have a installation guide or something i can use to try this room? i also dont get how to use the speed rooms ?? sorry but im kind of new over this

    ReplyDelete
  99. Data connection loss after calls was still a problem for me using GPA 15. Flashed the 5-31 nightly build of Gpa16 beta and the data connection problem is fixed! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  100. Thanks Peter! Tried the 1.2GHz LV Kernel first thing, works flawlessly. Netflix works great, wifi tether (barnacle) works also. No bugs or force closes what so ever.

    This is by far the fastest most stable rom I've used to date. I'm very impressed..

    Damn your good!

    ReplyDelete
  101. Hi Peter - I have a HTC Desire rooted but without S-OFF. Have been keeping an eye on this site & would love to try some of your roms - Would this be possible with my phone ?

    Cheers

  102. upgraded my stock froyo droid to gpa15, 1.0ghz low voltage and autooverclock last night. Pretty much painless once you get the right tools and understand the steps. Phone is running great, and I'm not in so much of a hurry to pick out my next one now! great job

    ReplyDelete
  103. when is GPA16 coming out? what will be diff.?

    ReplyDelete
  104. How can I get Russian keyboard and language support back? Every rom I use has been removing it. It is very disappointing :'(

    ReplyDelete
  105. Went on Market, got ROM Manager. Then Flashed Clockwork Recovery app. Then Flashed GPA15. Then flashed 1GHZ LV Kernal. Then Flash AutoOverclock.zip. Now runs very smooth. Can't tell about battery life yet. Just flashing GPA15 over stock Froyo seemed to be choppy and staggerish. But with the 1Ghz Kernal and AutoOverclock.zip flashed, runs just as nice as my DroidX with Gingerbread. Great work. Donation sent.

    ReplyDelete
  106. and the google apps?

    ReplyDelete
  107. Pete - You are the man. Thank you so much for your work. I think that what you're doing for the Android OS is a beautiful service.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Peter Alfonso - Would it be possible for you to setup an email notification system for when you have new releases of GPA, AutoOverclock.zip, Basebands and Droid Kernels? This would be very helpful.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Pete it's almost time to upgrade for me as i'm sure it is for you too, so i'm wondering which phone will you choose next? If you keep up at all with it like you do/did the Moto Droid then we're all sure to have another great phone to last us a while.

  111. Sorry for a dumb question but its not in the change log and I was just wondering if anyone knows the program menu passcode when you dial ##7764726?

    ReplyDelete
  112. Hey Peter, My Old Geezer gave up the ghost and finally quit. I just got a new Thunderbold and am hoping that will be your next choice. I really enjoy following your progression through these ROM's. Thanks for keeping this old retired guy entertained. Will keep checking this site for the fun of it.....

    ReplyDelete
  113. It would be fantastic if at all possible you could add a "quiet ringer on pickup" option. Other than that, this rom is fantastic! LOVE IT!

    ReplyDelete
  114. great rom pete, stable and fast, the problem is that i am technologically ADHD and need a new rom every other week! when is the next release planned for?

    ReplyDelete
  115. can sombody help me everytime i try updating i get a updated aborted message on my droid

    ReplyDelete
  116. Peter, I was using your BB on my original Droid a few years ago and was wondering if it will ever be coming to Droid X anytime soon and/or devices in the future like the Droid Bionic? I miss tinkering with it and can't with the X. Loved the speed increases with my original Droid, even though 1.2ghz made the thing hot to touch. I also heard that the keys were released from the Droid X for devs like yourself to tinker with them. Hope to hear from you soon dude, keep up the good work. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  117. Hey Pete, we need the next update!

    ReplyDelete
  118. Pete, what phone will you have next? whenever you decide or get it, can you make a post to let us know? my next phone completely depends on what phone you have and will be supporting

    ReplyDelete
  119. I'm currently running FRG83D, I rooted my OG Droid and deleted system apps and now I cant update to FRG83G. What are the steps flashing this rom? 1) Do I flash GPA 15 then flash the kernal to the speed i want to use? 2) Do I flash the AutoOverClock.zip? If someone can break it down for me it would be much appreciated.

    ReplyDelete
  120. 2.3.4 please?

    ReplyDelete
  121. Peter,
    Love your roms! If you want, I think a gpa update devoted directly to battery life would be awesome.
    Thanks, eric

    ReplyDelete
  122. Can i install this on any android device? for example, atrix 4g?

    ReplyDelete
  123. anyone tell me where I can find autooverclock.zip and the instructions for it? I've been looking here and can't seem to find any details for it.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Hi, i download the GPA16 the autooverclock and update from here... but when i flash my motorolo amilestone said.. my device not is sholes.. any idea?. i wipe more than 2 times...so?

    ReplyDelete
  125. Still loving this ROM. My 3rd Rom from Peter and his will definitely be my Rooted ROMs from now on. only glitch I got is after every reboot it wants to default back to the ANDROID keyboard and I have to go back in and disable it to use my T9Flex, which is a little annoying but livable

    ReplyDelete
  126. Did you have to reinstall all of your apps after installing this update?

    ReplyDelete
  127. anyone using a theme with this or launcher pro?

    ReplyDelete
  128. Runs smooth on Droid 1 (OG Droid) with new 1ghz LV Kernel. Using ADW Launcher and did not need to reinstall most apps. A few did need reinstall, but not sure why. Everything good. Runs smoother than 2.3.4 on my phone. Get Root Explorer if you want to remove QuickOffice. Awesome work Pete!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  129. How do you install this ROM on Droid 1......I'm a total noob!
